It should be D. -2 Since the x Is subtracting from 5 over 3 and you need to do Inverse Operation making it Negative so yeah, -2

2(x-3)+5x=5(2x+6) --- Distribute
2x-6+5x=10x+30 --- Combine like terms
7x-6=10x+30 --- Subtract x from both sides
-6=3x+30 --- Subtract 30 from both sides
-36=3x --- Divide both sides by 3
x=-12 (B)

Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi

timama [110]

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is $97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

$y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet$

Similarly:

$x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$

The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = $31\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Width = $17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet$

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

$=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

$\bold{\boxed{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer }}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

$\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent }$

$\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}$

$\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}$

$\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }$

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}$

$\sf{Let \: the \: total \: population\: be \: x }$

$\sf{\underline{ Therefore }}$

$\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }$

$\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }$

$\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}$

$\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}$

$\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}$

$\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}$

$\sf{ x = 180010/100}$

$\sf{ x = 1800.1 }$

$\bold{\pink{Hence , The\: original \:population \:of \: the\: village \:is \:1800.1 }}$
